    Adding heating pads to tanks/water lines

    I was in Moses Lake, WA in 08 with high temps below 15 deg. for 2 weeks. Our kitchen water froze because water lines were ran down frame, not so anymore. Plus the only heated part of underbelly is in the upper level, the kitchen area gets no heat. Unless you route heat down there which I did...

    Air bags vs mono-shock

    Bruce, I had the trail-air center-point system (air bags) installed on our 2009 3670RL and it took out that bouncy ride. When we cross bridges it does not bounce for the next 1/4 mile like it use too. I think it is well worth the money we spent, also think it helps with the beating our units...

    Dometic rm1350 - need help!

    Kenny, I tried that as well. Put a piece of sheet metal to help with the air flow as well as putting a 7 in. fan to move air. It helped a little but still did not solve the warming issue. When we were in Moses Lake, WA in winter it worked great. As soon as it started to get warm it would not...

    Dometic rm1350 - need help!

    Yes I closed up the vents, but they can still be removed for access. The fridge is not sealed in like the RM 1350. There is air space all around the fridge for air movement. The top vent is not very effective because it is not at the top of the cabinet resulting in hot air being trapped above...

    Dometic rm1350 - need help!

    Jim, I have considered a small inverter system, but so far I have not had a problem with fridge getting warm while we are on the road. As of now we always stay in parks while we travel, but that still remains to be a good option. Lonnie

    Dometic rm1350 - need help!

    I only paid $350 for the fridge so if it does go out it is way less than the rv unit. It actually weighs less than the RM 1350 so weight is not an issue, I took off the doors and was able to lift it up and place it in the hole. Getting the old unit out was another story. We never dry camp so...

    GPS unit's for semi truck use feedback.

    I need a new GPS and was wondering if anyone has the Garmin dezl 560LT or 560LMT? It has a RV profile setup and a external video input for back up cameras. Looks interesting but it is little spendy

I tapped into my back heater line to solvethe problem. You should also look into skirting and if any of your tanks are against the...

    RM1350--The SAGA continues

    sdagro, I went through 2 RM1350's in 6 months in our 3670RL, tried the redneck fan, ran it on propane, put insulation on top and it all did not work. I think it is a install problem, they are not vented right. The people I have talked to with the ones that are not installed in slides have not...
